This book is written by William Cooler. As you look at the cover of the book, the name, the first thing that comes to mind is anything that has to do with mystery, questionable behaviors, and the like. The book helps you understand yourself and to prevent it from being controlled, and if you have already been deceived, then everything can make sense for you now after reading this book.
Manipulators tend to confuse you about who they are and what their secret motives are; they are lovely to you sometimes and trash to you other times. This is their approach to you; they like sensitive and intuitive people because they can do no harm and are less likely to say no.
The good news is, manipulators don't risk it at all. If you defend yourself and get straight to them, they will never get around you again. Why? Because they don't want to destroy their reputation, they have to move on to the next victim.
We live in a world where we need to interact with others, give, and receive from them, but there has to be a limit. Whenever you feel something is wrong, question whatever seems odd, and it's the most important thing that you can learn from reading this book. Question everything about everyone; that is the greatest approach to protect yourself.
Last but not least, manipulation is considered anything against your will. If you are not comfortable doing something, don't do it, regardless of what the other person said or who it is, and do not forget to talk it out with someone you trust.
I don't like judging others, do I? They may go through extremely difficult conditions that no human being can ever endure or tolerate, but that does not make them irresponsible for their conduct. So keep that in your mind.
Remark: The book has good content, but he said one thing that pretty much annoys me is that he thinks people who believe in one god are deceived. Normally, authors should respect others' religions.
